    Overview

    Horsify provides comprehensive event results management, allowing organisers to enter results, manage running orders, and publish competitor standings. The system supports multiple competition formats and calculates placings for you.

    Who Uses This

    • Organisers: Enter and manage event results
    • Riders: View results and competition standings
    • Admins: Oversee results across all events

    Key Features

    • Results Entry: Manual entry and spreadsheet import
    • Running Orders: Manage competition schedules
    • Automatic Placings: Placings calculated for score-, time- and points-based classes
    • Class Results: Individual class standings, grouped into divisions
    • Dressage Scoring: A dedicated movement-by-movement judge scoring flow, including offline tablet scoring
    • Scoring Sheets: Download a fillable spreadsheet, record scores offline, then import it back
    • Rider Notifications: Riders are notified when results are published

    How to Use

    Entering Results

    1. Navigate to Event Management > Results
    2. Select the event and class
    3. Enter results for each competitor:
      • Placing/score
      • Time (if applicable)
      • Faults (if applicable)
      • Judge notes
    4. Save results

    Working from a Scoring Sheet

    If you're recording scores on paper or in a spreadsheet on the day:

    1. Download a fillable scoring sheet from the Results page — it comes out pre-filled with your entrants.
    2. Record the day's scores in it.
    3. Click Import results and follow the import wizard, which lets you review the matches before anything is saved.

    If an import goes wrong, clear the provisional results and start again — finalised results are left untouched.

    Auto-Place a Class

    For a class that's scored rather than placed by hand, Auto-place works out the placings from the scores for you. Classes where the judge assigns positions directly are left alone.

    Finalising

    Mark all provisional results as final publishes a whole class at once when you're satisfied with it.

    Managing Running Orders

    1. Go to Event Schedule
    2. Create or edit schedule
    3. Assign competitors to time slots
    4. Drag to reorder if needed
    5. Publish running order

    Result Calculation

    Scoring Types

    Each competition class has a scoring type, which decides how placings are worked out. Horsify sets it from the class's discipline and it can't be changed — there's no scoring-type control on the class. If a class is being placed the wrong way round, the discipline on the class is what to correct.

    Scoring type How it places Typical disciplines
    Judge places The judge assigns positions directly; nothing is calculated Showing, show horse, hacking, lead rein, showmanship, pleasure
    Highest score wins Best score first Dressage, para dressage, western dressage, reining, campdraft, cutting, working equitation, Extreme Cowboy Racing, stockman's challenge
    Fewest penalties wins Fewest faults first, with time as the tiebreaker Show jumping
    Fastest time wins Quickest time first Endurance, barrel racing, sporting, harness and thoroughbred racing
    Combined score Dressage score plus cross-country and show-jumping penalties Eventing, tetrathlon
    Most points wins Highest points total Series and team events, Pony Club

    Dressage is highest score wins, not lowest. The percentage a rider earns is their score, and the highest percentage takes the class.

    Editing a dressage ride the judges scored in Horsify

    Once a judge has submitted a ride's score sheet, the sheet is the record, and the ride's percentage and placing come from it.

    • Ticking Eliminated, Retired or Scratched, or setting the status to Disqualified, takes the ride out of the placings, and everyone below it moves up straight away. Undoing it puts them back.
    • The percentage can't be changed here. Reopen the sheet in Dressage scoring, correct the marks and submit it again. The same goes for an elimination the judge's sheet records (three errors of course).
    • The result can't be deleted while its sheets are submitted. Tick Scratched to take the ride out of the placings, or reopen and delete its sheets in Dressage scoring first.

    A ride judged on paper, whose sheet in Horsify was never submitted, is edited like any other result: what you type is what's shown.

    Classes placed by the judge can't be auto-placed — that's the point of them.

    Getting Results In and Out

    Dressage results can be exported; other results can't. On the event's Dressage scoring page, Export CSV downloads a spreadsheet of every submitted score sheet: one row per judge's sheet, with the placing, test, rider, horse, competitor number, judge, marks, percentage, errors of course, technical faults and whether the ride was eliminated or scratched. Sheets still in draft are left out. For any other discipline there is no button that downloads finished results as a PDF or a spreadsheet, for organisers or for riders. To keep a copy or hand results to a sponsor, use your browser's own Print command on the results page and save it as a PDF.

    What the Download button on the results page does give you is the opposite direction: a fillable scoring sheet. It's a spreadsheet built from your event's entries — one row per rider, horse and division, with blank score columns — so a scorer can fill it in away from the screen and you can import it straight back with Import scores. It contains no results; it's a blank form.

    Riders see their own results in My Results and on the event's public results page.

    Publishing Results

    Results move through Pending → Provisional → Final.

    You choose who sees provisional scores, per event, with the event's provisional results setting:

    • Riders only (the default) — a rider sees their own provisional result under My Results; the public results page stays finalised-only.
    • Organisers only — nothing is visible to anyone outside your admins until you finalise. Use this when scores shouldn't be known before the presentation.
    • Public — provisional results appear on the public results page as they're judged, badged as provisional, so scores live-update for riders and spectators.

    Whichever you choose, finalising a class publishes it.

    When Riders Are Told

    • A rider is told about a result once, ever. If your event announces provisional scores publicly, riders hear then — and finalising that same result sends nothing further. If you keep provisional scores private, they hear when you finalise.
    • Notifications go to the app first. A rider with the app installed gets a push notification. Riders with no app get a text instead, if your organisation has results SMS switched on.
    • A rider's results for one event are collapsed into a single message, so finalising someone's whole day is one notification rather than three.
    • Results notifications ignore quiet hours deliberately — a score is news at 9pm and stale at 7am.

    Integration with Other Features

    Season leaderboard

    Finalised results automatically feed your organisation's season leaderboard, which builds standings across your events for the year with no extra setup.

    Event series

    A series leaderboard is not rebuilt automatically. Standings are built from finalised results that carry Series Points, and only when an admin clicks Recalculate standings on the series. Finalise the results, then recalculate — see Event Series & Leaderboards and Event Series & Championships.
